7th graders finished painting their canopic jars with realistic colors. We looked at the pop art sculpture by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje Van Bruggen. These artists create large-scale sculptures of everyday objects. Canopic jars were used to store 4 different organs in the mummification process in ancient Egypt. There were different heads on the top of the jars. Students chose something from popular or consumer culture to place on the top of their jar. What is popular to these students now?

7th graders have been learning about the color wheel and how to use color in creative ways. Students mixed colors using the primary colors and black & white to make new colors. This project had students cut and fold paper to make designs that are one color on one side, and the complementary color on the other. One color shows the positive space and the other shows the negative space; then they flip on the other side! The complementary colors are: red & green, blue & orange, yellow & purple. Some students also used black and white in a design. |
